Just because your boob tube didn't tell you that women were getting raped and children were being trafficked through the Southern border doesn't mean that it wasn't happening and wasn't a crisis before you heard about it. Trump deserves a lot of credit for calling attention to the situation (i.e., calling it a crisis).

There are *so* many important issues that aren't raised by our politicians or media pundits. For instance, why isn't anyone talking about the inflation we're experiencing? If you "read the numbers" (i.e. the publications put out by the media and government), everything is super duper fine and dandy, but that doesn't change that food is more expensive than it has ever been or that very few of my contemporaries actually own the house they live in. Another one: we have entire political parties around the globe (including democrats with their PC culture) ADVOCATING for censorship to protect "muh feelings". I consider these crises as well, but that opinion isn't exactly popular or the focus of the media.
